Activision-Blizzard just bought King (Candy Crush) for 6 Billion

[J-Fire]

I don't understand how the developer can be worth that much. CC grossed 1.5bil. Activision must have a lot of faith in the franchise.

They figure they can leverage the brand & probably have more ideas for candy crush type of games.

Just to put into perspective how crazy this is. Disney bought Star Wars for only 4 billion

60% of CC players are women which gives them an Important demographic. They can put in ads to other activision products.

Plus, I'm sure the can cut cost to improve the bottom line. They have revenue in the billions.

In game purchases, I work with women who play that game and spend up to $100 a month on it

When I started seeing mobile game commercial's on during sports and all the most highly rated tv shows I knew what was up. The amount of money (profit) these games make are crazy. It's harder to get into now. But if you get anything jumping off you can end up SET for the rest of your life easy.

Activision just needs to cut cost, lol. Activision has been a buyer for a long time & lets those teams run with ideas!!!

CNBC called it a steal like I said this morning.

It's a high price but a good fit for both companies. I think king is #1 in micro transactions on mobile and activision blizzard is probably #1 in their field. Activision blizzard will probably use this to help break into mobile gaming. Starcraft or Warcraft on my cell phone would be piff
